2 Corinthians 5:11-17

11ThereforeG3767, knowingG3609 the 1fearG5401 of the LordG2962, we persuadeG3982 menG444, but we are madeG5319 manifestG5319 to GodG2316; and I hopeG1679 that we are 2madeG5319 manifestG5319 alsoG2532 in your consciencesG4893. 12We are not 3againG3825 commendingG4921 ourselvesG1438 to you but are givingG1325 you an 4occasionG874 to be proudG2745 of us, soG2443 that you will haveG2192 an answer for thoseG3588 who takeG2744 prideG2744 in appearanceG4383 and not in heartG2588. 13For ifG1535 we 5are 6besideG1839 ourselvesG1839, it is for GodG2316; ifG1535 we are of soundG4993 mindG4993, it is for you. 14For the loveG26 of ChristG5547 7controlsG4912 us, having concludedG2919 thisG3778, that 8oneG1520 diedG599 for allG3956, thereforeG686 allG3956 diedG599; 15and He diedG599 for allG3956, soG2443 that they who liveG2198 might noG3371 longerG3371 9liveG2198 for themselvesG1438, but for Him who diedG599 and roseG1453 againG1453 on their behalfG5228.

16ThereforeG5620 from nowG3568 on we recognizeG3609 noG3762 oneG3762 1011accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561; evenG2532 thoughG1487 we have knownG1097 ChristG5547 12accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561, yetG235 nowG3568 we knowG1097 Him in this way noG3765 longerG3765. 17ThereforeG5620 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 is 13in ChristG5547, 14he is 15a newG2537 creatureG2937; 16the oldG744 thingsG744 passedG3928 awayG3928; beholdG2400, newG2537 thingsG2537 have comeG1096.
